\n\t\u201cSir\u0101t,\u201d Oliver Laxe\u2019s techo-sluiced Moroccan desert odyssey, swept the 40th Spanish Academy Goya Awards<\/a> in craft categories. A \u201cbrilliantly bizarre, cult-ready vision of human psychology tested to its limits,\u201d said Variety,<\/a> \u201c\u201cSir\u0101t\u201d is nominated for two Oscars and already won a Cannes Festival Jury Prize.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSir\u0101t\u201d won most awards at Saturday\u2019s Goya Awards ceremony. However, Alauda Ruiz de Az\u00faa\u2019s \u201cSundays,\u201d<\/a> a study of failing family dynamics, plagued by intolerance, won the biggest: best picture, director, actress (Patricia L\u00f3pez Arna\u00edz) and original screenplay.\u00a0\u201cSundays<\/a>\u201d won San Sebastian\u2019s top Golden Shell last September. <\/p>\n

\n\tWith Oscar voting in full swing, sound went to the Oscar-nominated all-female team of \u201cSir\u0101t\u201d<\/a>: supervising sound editor Laia Casanovas, re-recording mixer Yasmina Praderas and production sound mixer Amanda Villavieja who spent nine months on and off on the sound design process.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe biggest breakout of the night, however, was \u201cDeaf<\/a>,\u201d a Berlinale Panorama Audience Award winner and portrait of the challenges facing the deaf, here a mother, in a world where they are expected to hear. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tBarcelona is not Berlin. It took just 150 seconds of Saturday\u2019s Goya Awards for co-host Luis Tosar, wearing a Palestine pin, to condemn \u201cGaza genocide\u201d \u2013 with the audience pretty well unanimously bursting out in applause.<\/p>\n

\n\tSusan Sarandon, winner of this year\u2019s International Goya of Honor, thanked Spanish President Pedro S\u00e1nchez and many artists from Spain who \u201ctalk with such moral lucidity.\u201d \u201cIt helps me to feel less alone, part of a larger community,\u201d in a world dominated by \u201ccruelty\u201d and \u201cviolence,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cDictators can govern countries by whims. That can be denying gender violence and climate change, invading countries\u00a0 and deporting immigrants,\u201d said Joaquin Oristrell, a co-winner of adapted screenplay for \u201cLa Cena,\u201d again to raucous applause,\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tIn her acceptance speech, Sarandon quoted American writer Howard Zinn: \u201cTo be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
